Biafra

Biafra was a loose collection of different ethnic groups before the coming of the Europeans to colonize Africa. Biafra and the Bight of Biafra was notorious for the Transatlantic slave trade with two Slave ports in Calabar and Bonny and providing over 2 million slaves during the transatlantic slave trade.^{[1] [2]}
